One lawmaker's proposal would potentially turn some of his fellow colleagues into felons.

Rep. Mike Leara, R-St. Louis, wants to criminalize proposing gun control legislation. According to the summary for House Bill 633, introduced Monday, any member of the General Assembly who proposes legislation that "further restricts an individual's right to bear arms" would be guilty of a class D felony.
